Dream Guide - #378 - Chapter 378 Looking for Ghost Island
Su Huilan walked over to the sea breeze and smiled at Qingmu: “You know so many beauties!”
Aoki smiled and said, “Are you talking about yourself?”
Su Huilan chuckled: “You look like a piece of wood. Some people are still waiting for your piece of wood to bloom, but they don’t want you to have flowers blooming in your core.”
Aoki said: “Are you still talking about you?”
“Glib tongue!” Su Huilan laughed even harder. After laughing for a while, she put away her smile and said seriously, “Did you give her the chip?”
Aoki nodded and said, “Yes, she is going back to Wuzhong soon. She can be taken to Professor Mei.”
Su Huilan knew that since Qingmu did this, the other party was trustworthy, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
Petru looked at the warships in the distance and said, “I think we’d better leave quickly.”
He didn’t want to follow the warship out to sea, because he would be within the visible range of the warship for a long distance. When he came out just now, the American captain looked at him twice, and he felt very uneasy.
The saying goes that small boats can easily turn around. Compared with warships, fishing boats leave port very quickly. They sailed out of Ahule Bay in a short while, and according to the position marked on the chart, headed towards a mysterious ghost island in the vast sea.
According to Petrew’s estimate, the voyage would take four to five days. Although the fuel on the boat was enough for normal operation for half a month, he still pulled up the sails on the boat just to be on the safe side.
Petru skillfully operated the engine and sail at the same time, using the dual power of wind and propeller to drive the ship forward. According to him, this will not only save fuel, but also increase the speed, and can reach the destination at least one day earlier.
Su Huilan used a radiometer to test the stone. The instrument showed no reaction at all, indicating that there was either no problem with the stone or that the radioactive elements had decayed many years ago.
They spent the next few days on the boat, watching the sun jump out of the sea in the east in the morning and its spectacular setting in the west at night. In the endless sea, they could do nothing but wait.
There were enough weapons on Petru’s ship, and when he was bored, he would take them out to show off in front of Aoki and Su Huilan.
Aoki used guns with Shi Dazhuang when he was in southern Yunnan. He also had a head-on confrontation with the quasi-military army in Maxuba, and saw the power of various firearms. At that time, he had a strange feeling. Not only was he born to speak many languages, but he was also born to use firearms. It was as if he had participated in a war in his previous life, and these memories were stored in a hidden corner of his brain.
Petru’s arsenal is very powerful, in addition to conventional firearms, there are even mortars and torpedoes. Aoki has never heard that the fishing boat can be equipped with torpedoes, and he doesn’t know if it was modified by Petrou and a torpedo launcher was installed on the boat. No wonder he is unwilling to get close to the warship. If these are discovered by the navy, they will be removed. treat you as a military intruder. It can also be seen from this that the reputation of the red-bearded pirate is indeed well-deserved.
Aoki can handle ordinary pistols, AKs, grenades, and even RPGs, but he is not familiar with some newer weapons, such as anti-material snipers and graphene bombs. Su Huilan’s familiarity with weapons surprised him. If he only knew about weapons, he wouldn’t be surprised. After all, she is a professor, and her knowledge reserve is many times better than his. But the key is that Su Huilan’s marksmanship is also very accurate, but Her hands and figure were nothing like those of someone who had fired a gun.
In the past few days, they also studied the chart. Looking at the distribution position of the islands marked with the Tabu mark on the chart, they made various guesses, such as what formation they formed, or how they corresponded to the constellations in the sky, etc. However, these explanations were not perfect.
What is the function of Tabu?
Both Qingmu and Su Huilan stubbornly believed that the Tapu must have some connection with the inverted pyramid on the seabed. To unlock the secrets of the Undersea Pyramid, we must first unlock the secrets of these Tapu. Petrou was skeptical, saying:
“What idiot would look for so many small islands in a sea area of 1 million square kilometers? Not all of these islands are marked on the military charts of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. According to you, people four thousand years ago, Even if they could sail from the Mediterranean to Polynesia, how many ships would they have to send to find all these islands? One hundred thousand?”
“If there is any mechanism hidden in these taboos, it is not safe to place them on these small islands. You must know that many of these islands are formed by submarine volcanoes. They may be there today, but they may disappear tomorrow, and they may be two hundred miles away in a few days. There’s one more. If someone could build such a great project on the Pacific Ocean, wouldn’t they not even know about volcanic movements?”
“I think this is probably a coincidence. People at that time discovered that there were such strange stones on some islands here, which could also affect people’s spirits, so they regarded them as miracles. Later, some people understood the true meaning of spirit from them. , became awakened wizards. You are the descendants of wizards. Your ancestors established an alliance claiming to maintain world peace. This may be the origin of spiritual power.”
Qingmu and Su Huilan didn’t speak, and fell into deep thought. No matter what he says, Petrou is right about one thing: no matter what the purpose of building these things, it is unwise to choose these islands that may disappear at any time.
After three days of sailing, they arrived at the intended sea area. However, just as Petru was worried, the expected island did not appear in sight.
“Yes, it was here last time,” said Petru.
“Quack, there is sea on all sides here, how do you know if you are in the wrong place?” cried the crow who was unwilling to be lonely.
“Ask those of your kind,” Pettru said, not saying that his ship had a positioning system, but pointing to a group of seagulls that had flown behind the ship for a long time, “how do they know the way home?” of?”
The crow said disdainfully: “That’s because they fly high. Of course, they can see far when they fly high.”
It jumped onto the window sill of the cab, then flapped its wings and flew towards the sea. After a few circles, it flew high into the sky.
Coal Boss’s flying ability is stronger than ordinary crows. Aoki knows this, probably because Coal Boss belongs to the plateau raven species.
The crow soon surpassed the flying seagulls, soaring like an eagle, becoming a small black dot in people’s field of vision. After a while, the small dot gradually grew larger, and then the coal boss’s figure spread its wings again. After circling in a circle, it stopped at the mast in the middle of the ship.
Its head tilted back and forth, as if it was thinking about something, and then it rose into the sky again and turned into a small black dot.
After going back and forth several times, it returned to the cabin.
“How about it? Can you see far by flying high?” Petru asked.
“Uh…I thought I saw an island just now.” The coal boss refused to admit that he saw nothing in the sky except sea water and the horizon.
“Where is the island?” Petru quickly picked up the telescope and looked around.
But the crow said: “I just turned around and it disappeared.”
Petru was so angry that he blew his red beard, stared and said: “Lying bird!”
“No, I didn’t lie,” Crow said stubbornly.
Petru put down the telescope and paid no attention to it.
Aoki said: “I seemed to have felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy in front of me just now, but it disappeared all of a sudden.”
